Well that's a hell of a statline for Varnell.

We probably are even not accounting for how bad it was even in spring training. He was 7 for 42 in spring training. So he's 7 for his last 76, a .092 BA.

No Palka, even v. RHP. Keller ate us for lunch last time, Giolito ate them for lunch last time. Defensively, probably our second strongest lineup (yonder at 1b best).

Oh the other thing I liked was he'll only be 17 on draft day. This says he tops out at 90 though. Sure is fun researching this stuff when we'll probably draft a college 1b overslot in the second round! https://www.perfectgame.org/Players/Playerprofile.aspx?ID=551758

Do you know anything about Blake Walston (Lhp prep). I read two sentences I liked, about his size and curve ball. Know nothing else.

This is true. I’ll give some credit to opponents though, Seattle was a buzzsaw that did it to more than the Sox. They are only now starting to cool down (started 13-2! Sox at least stole 1 vs them), and Tampa’s pitching start pegs them to be like the best pitching staff ever so those were happening to more teams than just Sox. so it will be fun if we can watch some nice wins vs AL Central this next few weeks.

Seems like Getz wants players to earn their promotions while in A/A+ ball, then AA will either be they earned it or were pushed up

It’s the ninth inning so Colome must pitch. It’s in his manager Manual.

So Colome it is.

There really isn’t anything at stake either way.

Good night to be in RF

Well that’s a hell of a game for Yonder

Is Colome available again?

Herrera’s hitting 97

I don’t know. Feels like when league was power starved we had more guys like Chris Carter. Now they need to be more well rounded, it’s just pitchers are really good. Like Yellichs k rate hasn’t changed that much.

I am skeptical that the juiced ball, which randomly appeared in, what 2016? Has anything to do with three outcome baseball, which has been trending this way for years. That’s much more likely to be a pitcher velocity issue. Or just have some expansion.

That’s Justin Jircheles dad isn’t it. I forgot he’s still a coach.

The only percentages allowed in this thread are k rate! We laugh at prospects injuries and ridicule them for their k rate. It’s a fun thread.

Well, that’s way more fastballs than I would have guessed but admittedly I was switching channels back and forth.

Lol, would have been a hilarious first hit

Great game from lopey. Starting to lean off FB only approach if first two games.

DP! Finish this inning and save us a bo arm

0-2 to 4-2

Let’s get some quick outs

Eloy don’t listen
